    alternator no charge under boost

    not to sound ciritcal or anything, its all in how you word your complaint.

    would you buy this for $100?

    ditto, however i dont anyknow anyone that would go the lengths of putting the cobra bading on the door panel tho... however i did see a geo metro with spinner hub caps. any car for a 100 bucks if it runs and drives is a steal
